How to Erect a Easy to move Greenhouse

Building your own greenhouse with a kit is fairly easy, but if you want to save some money, you can use materials found at your local hardware and lumber store. The Tractor Supply Company some supplies also to get you going.

Things You’ll Need:

* Heavy duty sheets of Plastic
* 2 x 4 pieces of wood (enough to build your frame
* Staple gun w/staples
* Nails
* Hammer

Step1
This step is where you don't need professional plans to build a simple and small greenhouse. Your greenhouse can be 8ft by 8ft. which is the easiest to build because of dimensions, because you can buy 2 x 4's in 8ft lengths.
Step2
Lay your wood out in a square and nail in together, you will need 5 squares, one for each side and the top. This will take 2 people to manage and get nailed together, afterwards, one person can finish it.
Step3
Now the the frame is all nailed together, you will need to have enough plastic to cover the entire frame, except fro the bottom. A staple gun can be used to secure to plastic to the frame. Leave one end of the greenhouse unstapled so that you can move in and out of your greenhouse with ease.
